FAQs

Are New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running?

While providing excellent comfort and cushioning for everyday wear and light walking, the New Balance 740 trainers are primarily designed for casual use and style, not high-performance running. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific running shoe lines.

How do I clean the grey mesh and nylon upper?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Dab the area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption and compression resistance. It's designed to dissipate impact forces and enhance overall comfort, making it ideal for all-day wear.

Are these trainers true to size?

As a unisex style, sizing can sometimes vary. It's recommended to consult the New Balance size chart and compare it with your usual shoe size. If possible, try them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The breathable mesh and nylon construction is not designed to be waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to wet feet and potential material damage. Consider a water-resistant spray for minor protection.

What materials are the New Balance 740 trainers made from?

The New Balance 740 trainers feature a breathable upper constructed from a blend of mesh and nylon, providing comfort and airflow. The sole typically incorporates durable rubber for traction and New Balance's Abzorb cushioning technology for support.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size; New Balance unisex sizing might differ from gender-specific sizing. Allow for a break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques or sock thicknesses.

Trainers get dirty easily, especially the mesh.

Regularly brush off surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for mesh and nylon, applying it with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive brushes that can damage the material. Consider using a shoe protector spray on new trainers.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating or if there's moisture trapped inside.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Unisex Sizing Considerations: As a unisex shoe, it's important to check the size guide carefully to ensure an optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The New Balance 740 trainers require minimal setup. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, slip your feet in, and adjust the lacing for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure your socks are comfortable and appropriate for the activity you plan to undertake.

Compatibility

These trainers boast excellent compatibility with a wide array of clothing styles and activities:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, shorts, cargo pants, and joggers.
  • Athleisure: Leggings, tracksuits, and athletic-inspired everyday outfits.
  • Outerwear: Light jackets, hoodies, and casual coats.
  • Accessories: Complementary with athletic socks and casual backpacks.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 740 trainers, especially given their mesh and nylon construction:

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Lightly dab the affected area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Deep Cleaning (Caution): For a more thorough clean, use a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, hot water, or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  5. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
